December 13/Glasgow, Scotland/Scotland on Sunday -- Research by Cambridge University has found that people whose meals comprised 15% protein consumed 260 fewer calories every day than those with only 10% protein -- a figure that equates to losing two stone in weight every year.
However, in a survey for Maxitone, the sports nutrition brand, while 70% of Scottish women said they thought they got enough protein in their diets, only 3% actually knew how much they need.
